Excel - Converting numerals to words

[Veteran of the software cycles]

I'm using Excel 2003. I'm creating a spreadsheed into which many people will
be entering data. I'll then be merging the data to a Word 2003 document. My
document will need to have numbers written out, such as two or forty-nine
rather than 2 or 49.

2 questions, really:

Is there a way to make those entering data into spreadsheet to enter only
words in a column, rather than numerals?

Is there a way for me to convert numerals to words in a column?

Thanks.

First question. Try Data Validation, requiring =NOT(ISNUMBER(--A1))
